The Ultimate LEGO Universe Factions Guide Part 2: Space

Once again I am creating a list of sets that one could concievably collect and put together on display to showcase the peking order for all Classic Space Themes villains and heroes, who's in charge of what. Who fights against who.

The LEGO Space Realm is a dangerous, yet vast area featuring hundreds of planets and countless solar systems. When LEGO Mini-Figures first ventured into this vast interstellar cosmos all was peaceful and villains were never dreamed of.

Then one day, the planet of the Blacktron Space Pirates was discovered, and the battle between Good and Evil began. The Blacktron Space Pirates are a ruthless band of marauding villains who seek to find a secret source of power to fuel their galactic bids of conquest.

The First Generation Blacktrons are the most dangerous, they seek out many riches in their quest for raw power. The Blacktron are in constant battle against the Space Police, the M-Tron and the scientists of Ice Planet 2002. From their secret Message Intercept Base they decode and identify signals from across the vastness of LEGO Space Realm to hunt down their riches.

The Blacktron Space Pirates flagship is the Renegade, a devious craft with advanced cloaking technologies and a small scooter for planetary encounters and thieving. The Blacktron Forces are one of the oldest villains of LEGO Space Realm, but like all Space Pirates they are in fact merely pawns in a galactic game of chess for utter control of the LEGO Space Realm.

When the Renegade is in-system, many peaceful explorers soon realize that they made a tactical error, just the sight of this dark and sinister looking craft fills many with feelings of dread and despair.

The Blacktron's Invader is a fast, sleek and powerful ship used to break many captured Blacktron Space Pirates from the Space Police prison. It is lighter than the Renegade, but also comes equipped with the dangerous cloaking technology which allows for fast entrance and exit into any system.

The Space Police are hard pressed to defend against such an awesome and terrifying vessel. But they sometimes manage succesful repulsion of the Invader, much to the dismay of their Blacktron Prisoners.

The Blacktron's second Generation Space Pirates are ruled by a cruel and vicious leader, one of the top twenty most wanted criminals by the LEGO Space Police.

Using their Alpha Centauri Outpost, they plot raids on enemy planets including the home world of the M-Tron forces, and the tiny moon which is home to the Futuron Space Race.

More militaristic compared to the First Generation Blacktron Space Pirates, the second generation have succeeded in capturing many resources which can lead to the ultimate power source in the LEGO Space Realm.

The Space Police have a difficult time repulsing these enemies of LEGO Space Realm, but if necessary they have many allies to call upon, where the Blacktron have few, if any allies.

The primary vessel of the second generation Blacktron forces, the Aerial Intruder successfully invaded the Ice Station Odyssey on Ice Planet 2002, if not for a brave Space Explorer from beyond the LEGO Universe the special sattelite the scientists had planned on launching would not currently be in orbit, and the Blacktron would be able to hide anywhere they pleased.

Capable of seperating into smaller attack craft, the Aerial Intruder is a dangerous opponent in any dogfight, many brave souls have lost their life when underestimating her abilities.

The LEGO Space Police use this aged, yet well maintained prison to lock up the villainous Space Pirates of the Blacktron Sector. Three Precincts of Space Police currently exist and each one battles against villainous threats to the LEGO Space Realm, when trouble draws near however even the Space Police are no match for the greater villainous beings of LEGO Space Realm.

Still they do their duty and defend all of LEGO Space Realm to the best of their abilities. And the Space Lock-Up Isolation Base is the first line of defense against any threat.

The first precinct of LEGO Space Police use the Mission Commander to patrol their sector and protect the citizens of Ice Planet 2002, planet M-Tron and several others from the villainous Space Pirates of the dreaded Blacktron system.

The Mission Commander is a fast and powerful ship with several deflector shields, numerous freeze ray based weapons and ion blasters for disarmament of enemy vessels. It also houses a cell for transport of dangerous criminals. When fear grips the populace of LEGO Space Realm just the sight of the Mission Commander can banish such feelings easily. And many cheer the coming of the LEGO Space Police Precinct 1

LEGO Space Police Precinct 1, this is LEGO Space Command, we have detected Blacktron Forces in sector M-Tron Alpha 2 Gamma 8, launch the SP-Striker and capture the villains before they cause a widespread panic.

The SP-Striker is a powerful cruiser and a formidable opponent for any Blacktron Space Pirates, with its freeze ray based lasers and disabling ion cannons, the Blacktron and any others foolish enough to challenge it are soon put in their place. But when the ultimate enemy stands revealed will the Space Police be able to protect LEGO Space Realm? Only the future knows for sure.

Precinct 2 of the LEGO Space Police is in a central location and far from the dreaded Space Pirates of the Space Realm. They deal with minor skirmishes between factions and on rare occassions must stand up against the dangerous Insectoids, guardians of a sacred power and fierce invaders from a massive black hole system which protects their home world and at the same time endangers it.

The Rebel Hunter is one of three primary vessels employed by Space Police Precinct 2, although lacking in a proper prison or base of operations for their own, their station on the moon called Titan is well defended. When danger threatens their sector Precinct 2 is ready to protect and serve.

Prowling the moon Titan, the Solar Snooper protects the Space Police Precinct 2's small outpost from invaders of all kinds, including the rare Blacktron Space Pirate far from his usual stomping grounds.

Large wheels and powerful engines propel this vessel over any terrain. A small scout craft is useful for aerial combat and defense and can dock with the Solar Snooper when not in use.

The Galactic Mediator, the largest vessel employed by Space Police Precinct 2. Taking several solar cycles to complete its construction, this vessel is one of the most respected and powerful vessels in the employ of the forces of good.

The Space Police use it more often than not to mediate peace treaties between warring factions, as they are highly trained mediators. Armed with many powerful weapons of offensive and defensive capabilities the Space Pirates of Blacktron Sector and the deadly Insectoids rarely desire to tangle with the Galactic Mediator.

The M-Tron are a peaceful race of LEGO Space Explorers from the planet also called M-Tron, or at least they were, until the day the Second Generation Blacktron Space Pirates invaded their sector.

Cities were decimated during the conflict between the Blacktron and the M-Tron and soon few habitable sectors of their home planet remained. Using advanced magnetic technology they began to drill into the core of their world to search for a means of restoring its once pristine beauty.

The Mega Core Magnetizer is the primary means of which they do this. With numerous sensors and magnetic based weapons that shift a vessels polarity disrupting their cicruitry, the Mega Core Magnetizer is heavily defensible and not something to tangle with lightly.

The M-Tron empoly the Stellar Recon Voyager for reconaissance of their dying world and their sector of LEGO Space Realm, with their advanced magnetic based technologies they were the first to detect the invasive force that stands poised to wipe out all of LEGO Space Realm.

The vehicle isn't very large, but it is still a force to be reckoned with and the pilots are brave M-Tron Spacemen ready to do their duty to protect all of LEGO Space Realm from the invaders.

The M-Tron's Particle Ioniser is another awesomely powerful space vessel capable of ionising atmosphere from a distance. It's primary use is the mining of large uninhabitable asteroids for the necessary resources to fuel their restoration project of their Home World.

However, it can be a deadly weapon in the wrong hands and the Blacktron Space Pirates would stop at nothing to posess it, fortunately the Particle Ioniser has strong defenses and hyper fast engines for quick evasion of Space Pirate ambushes.

Located on the frigid ice world known as Ice Planet 2002, the Ice Station Odyssey is used by LEGO Space Realm scientists to learn more about the distant past of the LEGO Space Realm, it's secrets and history.

It is also the location of a very powerful space based satellite, which combined with the rare element found on the Ice Planet fuels the Space Police's quest to rid the Galaxies of the dreaded Space Pirates of the Blacktron sector. This satellite is very powerful, capable of locating and pinpointing any single Blacktron DNA source in the entire LEGO Space Realm.

It was programmed and launched with the help of an outside explorer from beyond the LEGO Universe, a charcter many liken to a Maniac due to his intense speed when it comes to building anything with LEGO Bricks. (The source of all power in the LEGO Universe.)

The Blacktron have sought to disable this satellite on three seperate occassions, but were repelled each time thanks to the daring forces of the LEGO Space Police.

When it comes necessary to protect the explorers of Ice Planet 2002, the scientists have this powerful and magnificent vessel to fall back upon, when the Space Police are busy.

The Insectoids and others have attempted to invade and conquer the Ice Planet to control the rare element which allows the scientists to create new and ever impressive devices in the defense of LEGO Space Realm. But the Deep Freeze Defender keeps out the riff-raff.

With many impressive and advanced weapons the Deep Freeze Defender is hard to battle against and even harder to damage, their shield technologies have evolved since first being built and in case of emergency they can easily reconfigure into alternate forms using modular technology, also perfected on Ice Planet 2002.

Ice-Sat V, the satellite capable of detecting Blacktron Space Pirate DNA across the entirety of LEGO Space Realm. It orbits Ice Planet 2002 and links back to the monitoring systems of Ice Station Odyssey.

The Futuron, a race of Space Explorers from the moon Futuor; although considered heroic by some the Futuron are notorious for ignoring cries for help from neighboring planets that they have no trade routes with.

Many consider this to mean that the Futuron are uncarring monsters, but in truth they possess an ability few LEGO Space Realm denizens could hope to comprehend. The Futuron are capable of predicting the future.

This is partially due to a rare element located on their home planet and imbibed through their water supply. The Futuron are therefore only seemingly cold because they are protecting themselves from dangerous and deadly fates. They are also well aware of the larger picture in the LEGO Space Realm and are even privy to secrets that few would be capable of comprehending.

This is why their Monorail Transport System is such an advanced and ingenious piece of technology, which allows them to travel across their planet swiftly when the Invaders threaten to undermine their defenses.

The Cosmic Laser Launcher is the Futuron's powerful defense weapon, despite the name the Cosmic Laser Launcher is not an offensive weapon, but instead a very powerful planetary shield generator, which when in orbit of Futuor protects the Futurons from invading enemies.

There is a lot of maintenence and power required to run such a defensive shield, but the Futurons are up to that challenge as they can predict what will break down, when and where.

The Spyrius LEGO Spacemen, a force of pure evil, hidden on the dark side of Earth's Moon, the Spyrius have established a secret base from which they plot to launch their invasion of the planet Mars.

Originating from a distant sector of LEGO Space Realm, the Spyrius Armada are the first strike, the Lunar Launch Site is where they plot their invasion and are poised to attack. It is loaded with weapons and defensive measures to protect it from attacking forces.

Spyrius forces employ this powerful juggernaut in their defense of the Lunar Launch Base, with sophisticated robotic technologies, the Robo-Guardian is a force to be reckoned with. It's armor plating thick enough to repel laser beams and the many wheels used to propel it over the difficult and treacherous terrain of the lunar surface, the Robo-Guardian is a force to be reckoned with.

The Saucer Centurion is the Spyrius Armada's main vessel for attack. With powerful lasers and stealth technology which protects it from sensors the vehicle can swoop in and destroy any defenders rapidly.

The Spyrius Armada is led by a vicious and cruel cyborg, a being thought lost in space during a battle between the Blacktron Space Pirates and the Space Police, restoring him with their cybernetics the Spyrius now take orders from this cyborg Blacktron Agent whose ultimate goals remain a mystery. (Clever way to sneak in Mini-Figures Series 3 reference.)

The Monorail Transport Base of the Unitron is similar to the Futuron's Monorail Transport System, it uses similar technoligies, but where the Futuron are a race of Spacemen who work for the forces of Good, the Unitron are a race of Spacemen who have sided with the forces of Evil and the dreaded Invaders.

The Unitron live on the planet Unicron, named after a dark god of unknown origins from outside the LEGO Universe. Their race has begun to die out in recent years and so they are seeking for a means to repopulate their species.

Space Station Zenon is the main base for the evil Unitron forces, it stands on a cragy ridge overlooking the dieing world of Unicron. The early warning systems are some of the most advanced in the known LEGO Galaxies, and the weapons are equally powerful, yet highly suseptible to burn out when suffering from prolonged useage due to the toxic nature of the planet Unicron's atmosphere.

The Star Hawk II is the Unitron's last best hope for escape of their dieing homeworld. It is also a fast and streamlined vessel loaded with lasers, shields, freeze rays and other assorted nasty surprises.
